Thursday, Feb. 24, was the Space Shuttle Discovery's launch of its final mission. Since we were not far away, the Nor Cal people plus Beth and Bill Ferry decided to make a supreme effort to see it.
We took off from Lazy Days in the morning and made it to the Land Yacht Harbor in Melbourne with plenty of time to hook up and depart for the beach. Upon our arrival we received the royal welcome from the residents. New Airstream Blood!!!! We had more help than we could handle and really hated having to tell them that we were only staying for one night. There wasn't much time to go around and visit our many friends who live there, but we did see Tom and Penny Angelini and Kathy Bacon.
Beth and Bill went with us to search for a good viewing site up north toward the shuttle launch on the beach. We ended up in Cocoa Beach and decided to park when the traffic started to thicken.
